The Genshin Impact community is abuzz over the upcoming arrival of Arataki Itto, a new character who hails from the game’s Inazuma nation.

In an unusual move, Genshin developer miHoYo formally announced the character today, well in advance of his story quest appearance in the game itself.

However, it only captured his appearance from the back, so until he was formally announced today, all that players could discern was that he was a claymore-wielding character.

While other male characters have shown some skin in the past (looking at you, Kaeya), Genshin Impact’s character roster has largely been dominated by pretty bishounen boys.

I’m not complaining, but a lot of players like their anime men to appear strong and muscular, and Itto is one of the few Genshin characters to fit the bill.
